Today we went to Johnson Sauk Trail State Park for a picnic and a little nature adventure. We had planned on going on a few trails but it was really hot and buggy so the kids were not game. What really sealed the "no deal" was the abundance of wasps in and around the restrooms. Lucas then thought that every bug he seen was a wasp trying to sting him. So we just had our picnic and looked around at the wild flowers. We seen some beautiful and new flowers we had not seen before and had to come home and look them up. Here are a couple pictures of them.
Here we have some Purple Coneflower.
I do not know what this is yet I am going to look into it a bit further. The intricacy is amazing.
Here is the big red barn that we had our lunch by. It is part of the historical society and was built by Dr. Ryan in 1910.
So after a bit of running around and playing we decided that this fall when there are not so many bugs and the weather is cooler we will come back for some trail exploration and some duck watching. There was not a duck to be seen in the lake today.
Happy Adventures, Julie
